So what in affirming acceptance of evolution denies a creator?

The professor left no room for any creator in his answer. You had to "truthfully and forthrightly affirm a scientific answer". If you believe that the origin of humans has an answer that is only scientific, what role could the creator have played? I don't see where the professor left any room for a creator.

If you believe that the origin of humans has an answer that is only scientific, what role could the creator have played?

Creating the first life forms. Creating the planet on which the life forms came to exist. Creating the universe itself. Creating the physical properties of the universe that allowed the planets to form, life to emerge and species to evolve based upon shifts over time in environmental conditions also resulting from those created physical properties.
